Number of TomTom-Powered Automated Vehicles on Road Doubles

IAA Frankfurt, Germany, September 5,
2019 TomTom ( TOM2[1]) today announced that
the number of Level 1 and Level 2-enabled* vehicles powered by
TomTom’s maps for automated driving has doubled. Over 1m vehicles –
both private and commercial – and from multiple vehicle
manufacturers, are now on the roads.

Willem Strijbosch, Head of
Autonomous Driving, TomTom, said: “From helping commercial vehicles
to drive more efficiently, to keeping passenger cars safe on the
highway, our maps for automated driving are paving the way for an
autonomous future.”

Using TomTom’s maps for driver
assistance and safety warnings can help automakers to achieve
higher Euro NCAP ratings.

In March this year, TomTom
announced that it had closed deals with multiple global vehicle
manufacturers to provide the TomTom High Definition map, which
covers Europe, the United States and Asia, securing market
leadership in HD mapping.
